Why this drill works

Ensures the takeaway is driven by the big muscles (core) rather than twitchy hands.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Choke down on the club so the butt end touches your belly button.

  2. 2

    Take your setup.

  3. 3

    Rotate your torso to move the club. Keep the butt end attached to your belly.

  4. 4

    Stop when club is parallel to ground. Check if it's still connected.
